What was the first battle fought with American soldiers in world war 1?
The much-publicized first attack of the Americans was to capture an insignificant village in Picardy named Cantigny, on May 28, 1918. The village was in the front lines of the German trenches. The attacking Americans were from the 1st Infantry Division. This was almost fourteen months after the US had declared war, time spent raising an army, training and equipping it and shipping it to France, where additional training took place.Prior to this several US divisions had undergone tours of duty in the front line trenches, including the 1st Division. This was to introduce the men to the realities of fighting at the front.During the introductory period the 1st Division served in a quiet sector of the front in Lorraine, 1st Division artillerymen fired the first shell of the American effort, into German positions near Xanrey in the Luneville sector. This was Battery C, 6th Field Artillery, on the morning of October 23, 1917. The gun was a French 75MM field piece and Sergeant Alex L. Arch pulled the lanyard. During this tour the first American wounded was a second lieutenant, D. H. Harden of the 26th Infantry, 1st Division. The first wounded enlisted man was Private Ashburn of the 18th Infantry, 1st Division, and the first prisoner was captured.

What is first infantry division?
It is a combat formation of the US Army. Before World War One, except during wars, the US Army was mostly scattered in small detachments in frontier forts and coastal installations. It was rare to see so much as a regiment assembled in one place. When the US entered WWI, it had to create a large army for fighting in Europe, so once more divisions were created. The modern organization of the US army goes back to this time, 1917. WWI US divisions were very large, with over 26,000 men. All of them were infantry divisions, meaning they were intended for ground combat, and made up of foot soldiers. Each division had four regiments, in two brigades (two regiments to a brigade). In the 1st Infantry Division, the four regiments were the 16th, 18th, 26th and 28th Regiments of Infantry. The army called these "square" divisions. Just before WWII the US redesigned its infantry divisions. The new design was the "triangular" division, with three infantry regiments, instead of four. Brigades were done away with. Regiments were smaller, so the new triangular divisions had just under 15,000 men. In the WWII "triangular" 1st US Infantry Division, the three infantry regiments were the 16th, 18th and 26th Regiments of Infantry. The US 1st Infantry Division was the first one organized in 1917, making it the oldest division in the US Army. It has been in continuous service since 1917. Its members wear a patch on the shoulder of their uniforms, which is a shield with a large, red numeral "1" on it, giving the Division the nickname "Big Red One". The Division was one of three US infantry divisions which hit the beach in the D-Day landings in France on June 6, 1944.

Where did the 345 infrantry fight?
The 345th Infantry was one of the three infantry regiments in the US 87th Infantry Division. The Division landed in France December 1-3, 1944 and moved to Metz, where, on the 8th, it went into action against and took Fort Driant. The Division then shifted to the vicinity of Gross Rederching near the SaarGerman border on the 10th of December and captured Rimling, Obergailbach, and Guiderkirch in short order. The 87th was moving into Germany when Von Rundstedt launched his offensive in the Ardennes. The Division was placed in SHAEF reserve, 24-28 December, then thrown into the Bulge battle in Belgium, 29 December. In a fluctuating battle, it captured Moircy on the 30th and Remagne on the 31st. On 2 January 1945, it took Germont, on the 10th Tillet, and reached the Ourthe by the 13th. On 15 January 1945, the Division moved to Luxembourg to relieve the 4th Division along the Sauer and seized Wasserbillig on the 23d. The 87th moved to the vicinity of St. Vith, 28 January, and attacked and captured Schlierbach, Selz, and Hogden by the end of the month. After the fall of Neuendorf, 9 February, the Division went on the defensive until the 26th, when Ormont and Hallschlag were taken in night attacks. The 87th crossed the Kyll River, 6 March, took Dollendorf on the 8th, and after a brief rest, returned to combat, 13 March 1945, crossing the Moselle on the 16th and clearing Koblenz, 18-19 March. The Division crossed the Rhine, 25-26 March, despite strong opposition, consolidated its bridgehead, and secured Grossenlinden and Langgons. On 7 April, it jumped off in an attack which carried it through Thuringia into Saxony. Plauen fell, 17 April, and the Division took up defensive positions, 20 April May, about 4 miles from the Czech border. On 6 May 1945, it took Falkenstein and maintained its positions until VE-day.The Division received credit for three campaigns - the Rhineland, Ardennes-Alsace and Central Europe.The full name of the 345 Infantry is "345th Infantry Regiment". But when a soldier spoke of his regiment, he would say "I'm in the 345th Infantry". If he meant to refer to his division, he would say "I'm in the 87th Infantry Division". There were 3 infantry regiments in a US infantry Division during WW2.The 87th Infantry Division was in the US Third Army for most of the campaigns in France, except for a brief time in the US 7th Army, and the last few weeks, when it was in the US First Army.
